EB Help Required Thread

[Chester]

So is there anything I can help with?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Hehe. Sorry guys. Apparently one of the things we could use help with is keeping in good contact with the people we could use help from. We'll get this remedied very soon - just bear with us a bit.

I'm also interested in helping if there is room. Khelvan, what is the nature of the massive task?

Hi, I here you need help in this mod. I've been following your countdowns and recently downloaded the open beta. It blew me away and inspired me to get on my ass and offer you my fairly advanced texting skills (I here that a new faction is coming in to replace the yuezhi). I also have an innnate understanding of gameplay so can balance games and I have a fair understanding of ancient history (mainly centered around the British Tribes). I can mod for on average one - two hours a night and more on weekends. However, in May I do have my GCSE's so may be dormant for a short period then. Plz plz plz let me join, i'll do (almost) anything...

@ Blacksnail:
It depens, some are things like gathering and updating information and putting these in excel sheets but it could be something completly different.
If you are interested in helping EB, how much time do you have, and what modding capabilties or other capabilities do you have?

@ Berserker king:
thank you for your intrest in helping us , what modding capabilities do you have? Are there any specific tasks or thing you're are intrested in and think you can help us with?

We REALLy need someone to help out with armenia/hayasdan!!!
We need someone who knows alot of history of Armenia and has acess to alot of sources.

I'd also want to say we can also use new modelers and skinners.
Ofcourse if you can help us in an other way you're welcome too.

I have a full-time job so I'm limited, but can devote some time if there's room for me. I'd be better with longer term, self-motivated tasks that required weekly or biweekly communication as opposed to daily or hourly.

One thing I did notice is a lot of issues with the text of the unit/building descriptions - grammar, clarity, or even spelling errors. I'd be very interested in working on this stuff, as I think a lot of conceptual problems people have with how the EB stuff works can be cleared up by cleaning up the language. I don't currently have the time to do the proper amount of research, but if somebody provides basic facts for a unit, building, or the historical messages I could develop the required content.

I have no real interest in modeling/skinning but I do have a lot of Photoshop experience. I'm not an artist by any means but I can certainly produce content from the existing - for example, more of those loading screens. I am moderately familiar with the various text files in the Data directory and have a sense of how they all fit together.

If none of this really applies I am fine with updating Excel spreadsheets or working on the unit guide, though ultimately I'd prefer editorial/writing work first and Photoshop work second. Still, I'm fine doing whatever allows for mostly self-motivated tasks.
